1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

GPR15 is a homing receptor important for T cell migration to the large intestine, the primary site of inflammation in ulcerative colitis. Both GPR15 and its ligand, C10ORF99, represent potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of IBD; however, the roles of C10ORF99 in the large intestine are not fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that C10ORF99 is the non-redundant ligand of GPR15 mediating T cell migration to the large intestine. Furthermore, we demonstrate that C10ORF99 has GPR15-independent functions in the large intestine: C10ORF99 deficiency is protective in chemically induced colitis, and this appears to result from enhanced epithelial barrier regeneration. We found that C10ORF99 can inhibit intestinal epithelial proliferation in a cell-intrinsic manner. Additionally, due to this protection from colitis development in the absence of C10ORF99, C10ORF99 KO is also protected from colitis-associated colorectal cancer development. These data indicate that the deficiency of C10ORF99 can not only block pathogenic T cell migration to the large intestine, but can also promote epithelial barrier repair, potentially offering additional advantages for recovery from ulcerative colitis.
